Australia ended the Silver Ferns three-year dominance on the world netball stage with their first series win in New Zealand since 2001, following a compelling 46-40 win in the third match of the Fisher & Paykel Series in Christchurch

Netball is a team sport similar to and derived from basketball, and was originally known in its country of origin, the U.S., as "women's basketball". It is the pre-eminent women's team sport (both as a spectator and participant sport) in Australia and New Zealand and is popular in Jamaica, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, and various other Commonwealth countries.

Like basketball, the game is played on a hard court with scoring rings at both ends, and with a ball resembling a basketball (but lighter, smaller and slightly softer in construction, and usually white in colour). The hoops, whilst of similar height and dimension to basketball hoops, do not have a "backboard". The field is divided into thirds which regulate where individuals in each team are allowed to move, and two semi-circular "shooting circles" at each end from within which all scoring shots must be taken.
